You can have 140 - 200g (5 - 7oz) per day if salad does not exceed 230g(8oz) these veggies are slightly higher in carb content than the salad veggies artichoke, asparagus, aubergine, bamboo, bean sprouts, broccoli, broccoli rabe, brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery root, chard, courgettes, danelion greens, french beans, kale, kohlrabi, leeks, mange-tout peas, okra, onion, pumpkin, rhubarb, saurkraut, spring onions, spring greens, spaghetti squash, tomato, turnips, water cress.

If a vegetable, such as spinich or tomato, cooks down significantly, it must be measured raw so as not to underestimate it's carb content.

Salad garnishes.

Crumbled crisp bacon, grated cheese, minced hard boiled egg, sauteed mushrooms, sour cream.

Spices.

All spices to taste, but make sure none contain added sugar.

Herbs.

Basil, cayenne, coriander, dill, garlic, ginger, oregano, pepper, rosemary, sage, tarragon, thyme for salad dressing use oil and vinegar(but not balsamic vinegar, which contains sugar) or lemon juice and herbs and spices.Prepared salad dressings without added sugar and no more than two carbs per tablespoon serving are also fine fats and oils.

Many fats, especially certain oils, are essential to good nutrition.Olive oil is particulary valuable. All other vegetable oils are allowed, the best being conola, walnut, soybean, grapeseed, sesame, sunflower and safflower oils, especially if they are labeled .Cold pressed. Or .Expeller pressed . Do not cook polyunsaturated oils, such as corn, soybean and sunflower oil, at high temperatures or allow to brown or smoke.

Butter is alowed. Margarine should be avoided, not because of it's carb content, but because it is usually made of trans fats ( hydrogenated oils )which are a serious health hazard.(Some non hydrogenated margairines are available in health food shops) you need not remove the skin and fat from meat or fowl'salmon and other cold water fish are an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids.

I cannot stress strongly enough that trying to do a low fat version of Atkins will interfere with fat burning and derail your weight loss.
